Heard them laughing in the corridor .

About others who constantly talk" Values"
after all at ABC there is no need for values because we are all good ( don't need to have this discussion ) , and
All your values are as good as my values , Anyone who talks too much about their values is intolerant That's that other group over there an boy are they bad .
Nervous laughter , Hypocritical laughter or just noise to cover a blank space .

True independent journalism - or a bunch of predictable religious reactionaries

If there was one chorus the ABC hum it would be the above one TIJ. They have convinced themselves that they are fair and open . Yet the evidence from the many who switch them off regularly is that their same old same old is the result of religion in denial -- failure to recognise that they bring their own bias to reporting and who to report .
Only if reporters did little but put a microphone in random faces we would get more independent journalism .
We also don't get independent reporting when the news feed is fulla commentary,  speculation ,same old commentators and self appointed adjudicators like Tony Jones who are controlling discussions by always moving them on.
So what would be fair characterization of OUR ABC?


Who do you think wrote this and when?

"we were anti-industry, anti-capitalism, anti-advertising, anti-selling, anti-profit, anti-patriotism, anti-monarchy, anti-Empire, anti-police, anti-armed forces, anti-bomb, anti-authority. Almost anything that made the world a freer, safer and more prosperous place, you name it, we were anti it." In particular he criticised how the opinions of ..... staff "were at odds with the majority of the audience and the electorate".[5]

Let me just tell you it was one of the finest and most respected public broadcast/writers of our time
